Buy your own Envoy

The Envoy was the most expensive vehicle I ever bought and I would buy another if I had the need. I am asked questions about it almost everywhere I go and I tell everyone, with this truck you have alot of space, power, what I think is good fuel milage (20 Highway), quiet ride, the turning radius of a small car, and will pull a trailer like its not even behind you. Visibility is great, and I feel good knowing that my wife and 3 children are riding in this. So to sum up what I think of this automobile, I say "buy your own and you wont regret it".

We've had our Envoy for about a couple of months now and have gone on 3 long road trips in it. It runs like a champ. Even with the V6, it has well enough power to get going. Nice, quiet ride along the highway. I don't know about the other models, but on my XL, to me it's difficult to determine where the rear is when backing up. It is kinda hard to see the blind spot and the rear, but then again, I did drive a smaller car before. The gas mileage just plain stinks, and averages 14 city and 20 highway, but what SUV gas mileage doesn't?

2 Envoy XL's!

2005 GMC Envoy XL Denali Rwd 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

I actually leased a fully loaded Envoy XL in Jan. 05 and the Denali version in June 05, so my wife has one and I have one! I gave up a Jag XJ for an XL because I needed the 3 rows of seats. It was the only SUV that had the "ride" I wanted. Both have the V8. Except for some minor trim changes both are identical. The Denali version does have an "obvious" quiet package. They are good strong vehicles and the quality appears to be very good. I am obviously happy since I've got 2!

We love our GMC Envoy. It is very good on the highway. The seats are very comfortable, especially when we are taking a long trip, and also on short drives. Also gets excellent gas mileage.

We traded in my Lexus GX 470 since we car pool a lot and frankly needed more room. I was worried that it wouldn't handle as well as my previous SUV. It's a gem. It rides so smooth and the interior is extremely comfortable.
